Hi, Crank. Sorry to hear of your tank problems. I'm sure that must be quite frustrating for you. Hopefully the new tank works out better. Nice DIY...
Dad says the magnetic clips finally arrived from Hydor for the skimmer. So That's good at least. He said it seems to be running just fine.
I think that would be a good mix. You could do 2 T5 bulbs and then supplemental DIY LED strips for the front and back of the tank. Use a mix of royal...
LED can be high intensity, comes in a variety of colors (DIY kits and some of the higher-end fixtures), is lower wattage (meaning a lower electricity...
Well you won't get that shimmer with T5. It occurs with LED and metal halide because they are 'point-source' lighting - meaning the light source...
Wow, that's disappointing. :( The tank seemed to be doing pretty well under her care. Hopefully you start anew tank when you are back in the US.
+1...They all have their ups and downs.
Dad said the same storm passed over his area and everything is OK. Looks like the tank will be just fine.
I saw some of your pics on facebook. Tree in front of your house split in half? That's bizarre. lol. But if this storm knocks out the electricity...
+1. I would get 1 koralia 750 or 2 koralia 425 pumps. Use a HOB filter (without the filter pads/media) and put macro algae in it, such as...
I've got a 29g tank full of coral at home. No battery pump or backup generator. I'm also not there right now, and won't be for about two weeks (dad...
It was pretty stormy here today for an hour or so, then it cleared up. I heard weather from Indiana should be heading this way within the week...
If I recall correctly, Elite Reef is in Arvada. lol
Thanks for the video, Mike. The store looks very nice.
I've had this problem before with my Taam Rio pump. Use a turkey baster on the pumps. Don't try to fill it with water, but squirt the pump (intake...
Sorry to hear that. Hopefully your new tank works out better for you. Be sure to include a back-up generator as part of your new build. ;)
Window tint needs to be put down quickly and smoothly in order to prevent air bubbles that get trapped. A credit card works as a squeegee (working...
The only problem I see with painting inside, is the fumes in the house. You could paint it with doors/windows open, but even then I would suggest...
Stick-on backgrounds don't normally look good. Scenes are tacky and even plain black doesn't stick well. Use Krylon Fusion spray paint for your...
+1 about your stocking level. I think it's best to err on the side of caution with light - medium stocking and light feedings. On the other hand,...
